Outline for rent payments and utilities

Rent is paid fortnightly on Thursday, and it's paid in advance, ie. for the fortnight that we're about to enter. It's important that we get this in on time because we can't afford to hit the weekend and have the agent hassling us.

Rent is currently $560 per week, so we pay $1120 each fortnight. The extra amount we pay goes to utilities and other expenses (eg. we've previously bought a new washing machine, and we might replace the fridge one day if we get around to it).

                Weekly  | Fortnightly
-------------------------------------
Room Primary      $240  |        $480
Room Secondary    $200  |        $400
Room Secondary    $200  |        $400
                        |
TOTAL IN          $640  |       $1280



Rent             -$560  |      -$1120
Utilities misc   -$ 80  |      -$ 160

REMAINING         $  0  |       $   0

The utilities contribution used to be an even $30/wk each, but after the rent increased from 550/wk to 560/wk we just absorbed it into the utilities account.

The utilities split is now 6/5/5, or $30/$25/$25 per week ($60/$50/$50 per fortnight).

Utilities

Used to cover electricity (account with AGL) and internet (TPG). We've also used it to cover incidental expenses before such as buying a new modem-router, new washing machine, tools for repairs, consumables like dishwasher detergent and laundry powder, etc. Pass me a receipt for anything you need to buy and I'll reimburse you.

As of 2018-02-26:

Bank accounts

I opened two new account, one for receiving our rent payments and another to hold the utilities money.

I'll see if I can enable PayID on these accounts sometime.

Utilities

Once rent is paid, I'll send the remaining $160 each fortnight into this account. Utilities will be paid from here, probably by direct debit with debit card, and any reimbursements will come from here.

Stuff to take care of

Calendar for start of transfer period

Circled days are rent-payment days, everything fortnight on a Thursday.

       MARCH
Su Mo Tu We  Th  Fr Sa  
            ( 1)  2  3  
 4  5  6  7   8   9 10  
11 12 13 14 (15) 16 17  
18 19 20 21  22  23 24  
25 26 27 28 (29) 30 31  

Because we pay in advance, each rent-payment day is the last day of the "cycle".

As long as money is in the account a couple days before rent-payment day, we should be fine.

On the Friday after each rent payment day, I'll move the remaining money ($160) to the utilities account.
